Default EDGE 540 Wing Spar

Well, I'm starting the assembly of my FIRST 3D plane, and came to a screetching halt regarding the carbon wing spar. The cut-out in the wing for the spar is on an arc, and the spar is quite straight. The difference between the spar and the wing slot is nearly 3" as measured from the end of each.

I can deflect the spar 3", and probably could put it in the slot (once the bottom skins are on), and can even see that the bend will add considerable stiffness to the wing................but it sure seems like alot of load on the foam.

Am I doing something wrong here; or possibly have a incorrect part. I think it's ok, but just want to check.

Thanks,

Doug
